PHD Medieval and Early Modern Studies/Rejecting and Reusing in Reformation Canterbury

这项建议建立在肯特大学中世纪和早期现代研究中心(MEMS)与坎特伯雷大教堂档案馆和图书馆(A&L)之间现有的长期牢固关系的基础上，坎特伯雷大教堂位于该大学和大教堂之间的谅解备忘录内。其目的是通过增加研究元素来实现现有关系的阶段性变化，目的是开始一种新的和可持续的共享项目工作传统。MEMS是众所周知的大通，拥有成为大通资助的博士生的记录，这些博士生继续在遗产部门或相关经济领域的职业生涯。它在前现代研究方面拥有广泛的专业知识--从古代晚期到17世纪，跨越欧洲和其他地区，跨越一系列学科--并致力于保护和促进遗产。它以支持学生的技能培训、积极努力帮助他们的就业能力以及热衷于让他们参与公共参与而闻名。几名MEMS博士生曾在A&L大学实习，这是该校与大教堂密切合作的一部分。坎特伯雷大教堂在英国的国家认同中拥有特殊的地位。它不仅是圣公会的母教会，也是具有国际意义的文化传统的继承者。正如下面将讨论的，它的图书馆不再拥有它的中世纪修道院所拥有的财富-它是中世纪英格兰最大的单一藏品，再加上附近的圣奥古斯丁修道院，使坎特伯雷成为英格兰的书籍之都-但它是中世纪和早期现代时期重要资料的保管人，大教堂修道院的中世纪档案被列入联合国教科文组织英国世界记忆名录。这使得它成为MEMS教学的重要场所，它的学生足够幸运地有定期课程来处理材料。反过来，档案馆也受益于微电子机械系统在改进文献、解释和对其收藏品的理解方面的专业知识。微电子机械和A&L在最近的活动中进行了合作，包括2019年为期一天的会议，重点是A&L最近获得的一本13世纪的圣经，它曾经在修道院的墙上，通过拍卖购买的方式送回了坎特伯雷。此外，MEMS还参与了大教堂HLF资助的“坎特伯雷之旅”项目，最引人注目的是参与了纪念Thomas Becket殉难850周年会议的组织(被大流行推迟到2021年，并在网上举行，Emily Guerry博士是组织者，得到了Chase资助的博士生的有力支持)。CHASE CDA项目主管22-23 3然而，这里没有连接两个机构的CDA，我们申请你们的支持，因为我们认为这释放了我们关系新阶段的潜力。我们的目标是利用这一点作为长期和密集研究合作的起点，这将在几个方面推进。拟议的项目侧重于一条符合双方战略优先事项的具体途径。大教堂非常重视外部参与，并向广泛的观众开放和分享其历史藏品。它旨在坎特伯雷之旅项目奠定的基础上，将历史收藏品带入所有参观者的体验中，包括来自各种背景和年龄段的参观者，以及在线“参观者”。这个项目通过考虑破坏偶像和回收的相互竞争的冲动的历史作用，并突出它们的现实意义，反映了这一点。对于对手稿碎片的特别强调，首席主管是一个自然而然的选择：朗德尔博士被认为是该国在

This proposal builds on the existing long-standing strong relationship between the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS) at the University of Kent and the Archives and Library (A&L) of Canterbury Cathedral, which sits within a Memorandum of Understanding between the University and the Cathedral. The aim is to achieve a step-change in the existing relations by adding a research element with the intention of beginning a new and sustainable tradition of shared project-working.MEMS is well-known to CHASE, having a track record of being the home to CHASE-funded PhD students who go on to careers in the heritage sector or allied areas of the economy. It has a wide range of expertise in pre-modern studies - from late antiquity to the seventeenth century, across Europe and beyond, and across a range of disciplines - and couples that with a commitment to protecting and promoting heritage. It is known for its support in skills training for its students, its vigorous efforts to assist their employability and keenness to involve them in public engagement. Several MEMS PhD students have had placements at A&L, and this is one part of its close working with the Cathedral.Canterbury Cathedral holds a special position in Britain's national identity. Apart from being the mother-church of the Anglican Communion, it is an inheritor of a cultural tradition of international significance. As will be discussed below, it no longer has the riches in its library that its medieval priory had - it was the largest single collection in medieval England and, coupled with the nearby monastery of St Augustine's, made Canterbury England's capital of books - but it is custodian of an important collection of materials from both the medieval and early modern period, with the medieval archive of the cathedral priory included on the UNESCO UK Memory of the World Register. This makes it an important venue for MEMS teaching, with its students being fortunate enough to have regular sessions handling its materials. In turn, the Archives benefits from the expertise at MEMS in improving the documentation, interpretation and understanding of its collections.MEMS and A&L have collaborated on events in the recent past, including a one-day conference in 2019 focussed on the A&L's most recent acquisition, a thirteenth-century Bible which had once been within the priory's walls, and returned to Canterbury by purchase at auction. Moreover, MEMS has been engaged with elements of the Cathedral's HLF-funded 'The Canterbury Journey' project, most notably by involvement in the organization of the conference to commemorate the 850th anniversary of the martyrdom of Thomas Becket (postponed by the pandemic to 2021, and held online with Dr Emily Guerry being an organizer, ably supported by CHASE-funded PhD students).CHASE CDA Project application form for supervisors 22-23 3There has not, however, been a CDA linking the two bodies, and we apply to you for support because we see this as unleashing the potential for a new phase in our relationship. Our aim is to employ this as the starting-point of a long-term and intense research collaboration which will be taken forward on several fronts. The proposed project focusses on a specific pathway which speaks to the strategic priorities of both bodies.The Cathedral takes very seriously external engagement and the opening up and sharing of its historic collections to a wide range of audiences. It aims to build on the foundations laid by The Canterbury Journey project in bringing historic collections into the experience for all visitors, from a full range of backgrounds and age groups, and also for the online 'visitor'. This project reflects that by considering the historic role of the competing impulses of iconoclasm and recycling, and highlighting their present significance. For the particular emphasis on manuscript fragments, the lead supervisor is a natural choice: Dr Rundle is known as one of the country's experts in
